Passage 1
Tommy Field, a school boy, who was due to take his final school examination, went into hospital instead, suffering from a nervous breakdown. The following is a TV talk show about this matter given by people concerned. They are from different occupations. There are a doctor, a student parent, a manager of a human resources department, a president of the students' union among them.
Tommy Field: | I'll never pass the exams. I'm just not clever enough. Everyone's ashamed of me now. Why do I have to be clever? Is passing exam more important than being happy? |
Mrs. Field: | We're all so disappointed. Those exams were so important for Tommy's career. He should have studied harder, instead of wasting most of his time playing foot-ball and computer games. He'll have to spend another year at school now, and he'll probably never get to university. We spent a lot of time and money on his education, and it's all been wasted. |
Dr. Clark: | This happens every time exams are held. Students play all year and forget about their studies, and then suddenly there's a last-minute panic as they realize the exams are looming up. Suddenly they start studying twenty hours a day, they go without sleep, they neglect their food, they don't get any natural fresh air and exercises, and naturally they get overtired and worried and they can't handle the mental strain. It would be better if the schools held exams once a month instead ofonce a year, Then the children could achieve a better balance between work and play. |
Jean Burwell: | We base our employment decisions on a number of factors. Manners, personality and appearance are important. So is actual job experience. But the only way we can judge applicants' intelligence, without knowing them, is by their examination record. That's why we only employ graduates. |
Nick Sharpe: | I'm against the whole system of exams. They test only a little of what kids learn at school. They test the ability to remember information and repeat it, but not their ability to think intelligently about what they've been taught. Biased examiners, who fail students if they don't agree with what the examiners write, regardless of how original and perceptive it may be, grade the examination papers. Many examiners grade papers in such a hurry that they don't possibly compare them in order to give fair marks. On the basis of a system like this, people are categorized for the rest of their lives as "pass" or "fail", yet for many students the exam results may have been influenced by sickness, injury, or family quarrels just before the "big day" of the exams. |
Rich Kennedy: | We base our reports on a system of continuous assessment. Any students who consistently perform badly are asked to leave at the end of the year. In this way we can maintain a high academic standard without examinations, which depend too much on memory and don't allow the children to develop their own personality. |
| A | B |
26. Rich Kennedy | a. Tommy's doctor |
27. Mrs. Field | b. Personnel manager of a big company |
28. Doctor Clark | c. President of the Students' Union |
29. Jean Burwell | d. Tommy' mother |
30. Nick Sharpe | e. Headmaster of an unconventional private school |
Directions: In this section there are two passages followed by a total of ten multiple-choice questions each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C, and D. Chose the one that you think is the correct answer. Mark your answers on your answer sheet.
Passage 2
The ancient Chinese poet Tao Yuanming of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 317-420) once described in his work a legendary fairyland "Peach Blossom Valley", which is said to be a place completely isolated from the rest of the world. People there lived a simple, pastoral life.
Does such a fairyland really exist in the real world? For centuries, Chinese people merely regarded this valley as an imaginary place. It never occurred to anyone that is might be found in the map. Our trip to Bamei Village located in a typical karst area led us to an unexpected answer to the question. After driving for 40 kilometers north from a small county, we finally stopped in front of a cave where there was a stream called Bamei River flowing. Under the guidance of local villagers, we continued our journey into the cave by boat.
Just like entering a movie theatre, we were soon immersed in utter darkness as the boat drifted into the cave. A narrow shaft of sunlight streamed through a small opening in the cave roof, giving the water an unearthly quality. Astounded by the mystic cave, we all fell silent and could hear only the sound of dripping, rippling water.
Suddenly the boat made a sharp turn, bringing us to the exit of the cave. To our surprise, our destination—Bamei Village, was right there before our eyes. It seems we were stepping into a fictitious land of peace, away from the turmoil of the world. In the Bamei River were reflections of mountains covered with trees. The village is sheltered by great amphitheatres of mountains. It is a village without roads. The river has been the only access in and out of the village. Due to inconvenient location and hard transit, the villagers escaped attacks by the outsiders and the influences of the modern world, staying as unadorned and as pure as they always were.
Without cars, electricity, telephone and television, the villagers still lived a primitive, self-sufficient living-fishing, hunting and farming. Also they have preserved the traditional culture and customs. They sing songs at their most important events, which is their way of interacting with others and express their feelings.
When night falls, villagers light their oil lamps. Bonfires are built to welcome tourists and party thrown. As the local children run about in the glow of the flames, one cannot wonder if this fairyland, once hidden but now on the map, may soon lose its innocence and become another cultureless, contrived tourist attraction.
31. "Peach Blossom Valley" is ________.
A. a place completely isolated from the rest of the world
B. a legendary fairyland described by an ancient Chinese poet
C. a place where people live a simple, pastoral life
D. Bamei Village described by the author
32. Bamei Village is ________.
A. inside a big cave B. 40 kilometers north from a small county
C. surrounded by the Bamei River D. located in a typical karst area
33. The only way to get into and out of the Bamei Village is ________.
A. by boat B. on foot
C. across the rippling water D. through a small opening in the cave roof
34. Because of the inconvenient location and hard transit, the people in the Bamei Village ________.
A. escaped attacks by the outsiders and the influence of the modern world
B. lived a primitive, self-sufficient living-fishing, hunting and farming
C. preserved the traditional culture and customs
D. did all the above
35. Obviously, the author thinks it is ________ for the Bamei Village to be known as a tourist attraction.
A. fictitious B. wonderful
C. something to worry about D. very important
Passage 3No matter who we are or where we live, no matter what our language or our culture is, we have many things in common with all other human beings. We can all feel the breeze on our skin, hear a child cry, enjoy the smell of the flowers, see the stars in the night sky, feel the pain of a knife cut on a finger, experience heat and cold, thirst and hunger and tense and relax our muscles. To use our computer image, we all have the same hardware, the same equipment. We all have similar eyes, muscles and nerve endings that enable us to sense the world.
We can also all think and as a result of thinking, we all know that the physical world exists apart from our ability to sense it. We know that the moon exists even though we have never been there or talked to anyone who has been there. It may look like a shining flat round disk when we look at it, but other tell us that it is more like a round ball with rocks and soil. We believe them even though that is not what we see when we look at the moon. We know many things that we have not directly experienced and we accept the idea that others know these things too. There is a physical reality that is "out there" quite separate from our experience of it.
Our senses and the world beyond our bodies are physical realities that have nothing to do with culture, yet we interpret the information we receive from our senses and this process of interpretation is molded by culture. We interpret a flash of red colour as the rising sun or a sharp cry as a hungry baby. It is in our culture that we learn how to interpret our sensations. We learn what to pay attention to and what to ignore.
A European coming to China for the first time may think everyone looks alike because he sees people with black hair and dark eyes everywhere. After a time, if the newcomer is paying attention, he or she will start to see differences in the blackness of hair. It is the same with the taste of food, the sound of voices and the sounds of music. For someone unfamiliar with Asia, at first all rice will just taste like rice. They may not notice differences in types and quality until someone points out their characteristics. In learning Chinese it is especially difficult for speakers of Western languages to hear the tones of Chinese words because words in their languages do not have tones. It is the same for a person from a tropical country who travels to the far north for the first time. He can only see "snow" until a native points out the differences among the various types of snow. In time he will learn to see, to feel and even smell different types of snow. As he walks, he can feel which type of snow is under his feet.
I hope these examples convince you that how we experience the world through our senses is molded by our home culture. One of the least recognized difficulties that people have when they move from a familiar to an unfamiliar culture is the difficulty in perceiving things as the local people do.
36. The main idea the author conveys in this article is that ________.
A. we humans have a lot in common in our ability to sense the world
B. a physical world does exist beyond our ability to sense it
C. our view of what the world looks like is shaped by our culture
D. it is difficult for speakers of Western languages to learn Chinese.

A. the senses of all humans function the same
B. we all use the same hardware and the same equipment in our computers
C. our computer image is the same
D. what our senses to us are what hardware to the computer
38. By "physical realities", the author refers to ________.
A. the physical world existing apart from our ability to sense it
B. our senses to see, to hear, to feel, to taste, and to smell, etc.
C. our ability to think and the result of our thinking
D. Both A and B
